Black or African-American?

This issue about race and culture has been going on forever. Black people are considered to be a race or group of people that come from African descent. Not only in America, but all around the Caribbean area and France, there are different types of African descent. America is a melting pot for all kind of races and accounts for a large number of different black people. It is only right to name those people blacks or negroes so people can be identified easier. The same goes for other races as well. I'm black/African-American and I think others like me should be identified the same. I might not have grew up in Africa and then moved to America, but I have African ancestors from the continent of Africa, so that makes me equal to a true African.

Axe Spray Song

Lets face it, sex will always sell no matter what people say or think about it. I agree with what Axe is doing with their campaign. It's a spray designed for men and most men relate with women in a major way. I would use the same strategy if I was on board of the advertising/marketing team. The Bom Chika Wah Wah song and video is funny, but a great marketing tool.

Cleveland School Shooting Coverage

I just read about the school shooting that took place in Cleveland recently and I don't think that there was any justice in the way the writers handled the race issue. In most news articles, you are suppose to first identify what the situation is and then state who is involved. When stating who is involved, you give a accurate description of who the persons are. The writers didn't identify Asa's race until close to the end of the story, but did manage to give the other kids, which were 85 percent black, a bad look as if they were all bad people. They even made Asa, the 14-year-old shooter, look very bad since he did shoot four people. He was probably a good kid that was driven bad, but from reading the story, one wouldn't be able to tell that off top.
